[Evolution-users] Sent folder randomly resets to default

[Pete Biggs]

Hi -

I have an iCloud account used via IMAP and I set the Sent folder to be
a folder on that account (so I can see my sent messages elsewhere).

Every now and then the folder gets reset to the "On this computer" sent
messages folder (presumably the default).  There's no notification that
this has happened and I usually only spot it when I go looking for a
message, often a week or two later.

Is there any reason that this might happen?  If the server is slow to
respond with, say, a folder list and it thinks the folder is missing
does Evolution reset to the default? (I've noticed a couple of times a
filter has alerted that the destination folder is missing when
Evolution starts up, when the folder is plainly there in the folder
list.)

Is there any way to tell Evolution to be a bit more patient when
waiting for a folder?

P.
